I know this is a stab in the dark.
Even though I tried to replicate your scenario by using a snapshot from a video, I noticed in your screen capture you were using other layers (transparent background & title)... which I didn't do in my testing. I've since added the same layers, but adjusting sharpness still works as expected.
Have you tried adjusting sharpness on a single photo with no title/background layers?
Is there anything you did to
any layer that may have interfered with the sahrpening adjustment?
Like I said - a stab in the dark.
